From the City of Rockville: The Victorian Lyric Opera Company presents Jaques Offenbach's "La Périchole" in English, at 8 p.m., March 3-4, and at 2 p.m., March 5. To suit the whim of the viceroy -- a great man for the ladies -- an attractive street-singer (La Périchole) is brought to court and made a countess by the simple expedient of marrying her to a newly titled "count," who is really her street-singer partner and lover. Good comedy character parts, engaging romantic intrigues, colorful costumes and delightful music, including the celebrated "Letter Song." Ages 13-plus. Tickets cost $28 for adults; $24 for seniors, and $20 for students.
